put 1 T oil in the pan, & sprinkle season-all over the chops.
mix 1 packet of pork gravy mix with 3/4 cup apple juice.
after browning the pork chops 5-6 mins on ea. side, pour this mixture over the chops
bring to a boil, then cover the pan and simmer 15 min.
while its simmering, you can slice up an apple. then put that over the chops - simmer another 10 min.

Homemade mac and cheese. Boil elbow noodles as directed on package. While that is cooking, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt a few tablespoons of butter, shredded cheese, and enough milk to barely cover the cheese. Stir frequently to keep the cheese from burning. Once cheese is melted, add about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, stir until melted. Drain noodles, add to cheese sauce. Place in a greased casserole dish. Melt butter in a small frying pan, add breadcrumbs and stir until golden brown. Top the mac and cheese with the crumbs. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

To prepare patties, place pinto beans in a medium bowl; partially mash with a fork. Add cheese and next 5 ingredients (through egg white) stir until well combined. Form into 4 (1/2 inch thick) oval patties.
Heat oil in a lg nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook 3 min on each side or until patties are browned and thoroughly heated.
To prepare spread, while patties cook, combine avocado, tomato, red onion, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Place one patty in each pita half. Spread about 2 tablespoons of spread over patty in each pita half.
